If y'all own Tire Kingdom in Crystal River it is the worst tire service I've ever got. I spent $1,500.00 on tires there a couple of months ago, and I've had a slow leak on one of my tires. I've been by Tire Kingdom on Hwy 44 in Crystal River Florida numerous times where I bought the tires, and today 12/13/2017 three times and each time I was told to come back in a hour and a half. I work 7 days a week, and took off today just to get my tire fixed just to be turned away 3 times. My tires were bought and ensured there but still I have a slow leak. I hope someone can help me get this problem solved, the employees there are useless. Fell free to contact, 3185422696. Thanks Tony
